The game that keeps on giving more game.
Great to relax to and just derp about, maybe build something in the condos or play some golf, or bowling, or billards, or go karts, or shoot stuff etc.
More so with friends about, like visiting a virtual theme park.
One of those games that everyone should have in the library just to have and play around on once and awhile at the least.
Maybe not so great for constant playing or unlocking in game items quickly but if you're fine with getting things at a laid back pace it's pretty rewarding over time.

Not at all Complete and just the first five episodes running in DosBox.
Commander Keen is a great series and a good game for kids new to PC gaming or who need some honest and challenging platforming that isn't the mindless junk of today's tablets.
Though you could always use the open source port on android and play the game that way using the files in this pack.

Missing the final episode and whatever Keen Dreams was which might be in legal limbo. (it had a steam release once by another publisher but its gone now)
The last episode "Aliens ate my baby sitter" is known to have a lot of issues and a broken unstable but improved engine so I can only assume thats why it wasn't included but I don't get why it couldn't have been included as is anyway just to give a complete legal resource for it.

Overall needs repacked using one of the open source ports and at least the final chapter added in which the open source port Commander Genius (google it) fixes up just fine. (Also adds four player mode, cheats and sprite skinning options etc)

The Gameboy color game and that late april fools joke E3 2019 are the only other two games but sides the Gameboy one being kind of okay ish it's not much to miss anyway.

Overall the games are classics for a reason, not perfect a little tough at times but some of the best platforming the PC has had since back when it barely had any platformer games at all.
It's also mostly non violent and works well with the stun gun mechanic which makes the game an interesting challenge.
It's still worth it to get the pack here but they really should be clear about whats missing and not call it complete or repack it with an open source port, add some steam features and make it as complete as possible, but alas this is as good and legal as it gets right now.

In the mean time you can get the content and get the Open source port together, maybe seek that final 6th episode, it's all well worth it. Especially if you can manage four player co-op, but I have hard enough time finding four players for that when everyone guns for mario games first.

A series that is worth a play, worth respect and helped shaped PC gaming.
As for the future..... maybe stay in the past, you know what you get and get what you pay for and then some.
Minus the "complete" package anyway but some keen (good keen) is better than no keen (or awful trash keen bleck)

A social multiplayer interactive exploration and puzzle game with no violence death or struggle.
Just explore the enviroment find things, find others, be cute, make sounds and relax.

Emotes break the immersion some but they are still fun to play with.
Controls are not controller friendly and are simple tank controls which work fine but isn't as comfortable as point to move controls or analog tank like control.
Hopefully controls are touched up and gamepad controls can come in with another update.

Cheap, calm, cute and an experience everyone should really have in their steam library.

The strange set of colors and odd dialog put this game in a weird sort of place which while I'd want to associate it with a darker theme it ends up oddly happy go lucky?
Maybe its the music but its hard not to enjoy the mix of weird and upbeat imagery and music.
Controls could also use some touching up as I have to remember not to use my secondary without first letting go of my primary fire and reaiming. Its a minor issue that I easily got around but some might find it frustrating at first while learning how to deal with the bosses.
Once I learned their patterns and most enemy rooms I found myself breezing through the game and if anything having trouble seeing some projectiles as everything brightly glittered with all the abundant colors and animations on display.
It does give the game some atmosphere which end up weird but enjoyable.
The game is worth a try at the least and can be a good challenge starting out.
I do find myself wishing for more but what I had was presented well, flowed well and over all enjoyable.
Theres just sort of a strange charm to it and it gets things right by adding some good varity and giving small hidden objects or small secrets to find in each randomized map.
So ya, give it a shot, its worth the price.

Oh and try the code BUTT-BUMS in the seed entry option. I know immature but I it ended up making a nice map to practice with.
